Hello! I know it is very early, but my family is moving to Walla Walla this summer and we will be putting our 3 bedroom 1/2 bath house up for rent. It is a very cute house on 2 acres. It is on a well and septic, so those utilities are free. We have had goats and chickens as there is plenty of space for animals. There are small hazelnut and fruit trees that are just starting to bear fruit and half of the property is wooded. There are a few strawberries, raspberries and boysenberries throughout the yard. It is heated with a heat pump and we have a wood fireplace. (it does not have an insert though, so it is not very efficient) There are small garden spaces that you are welcome to extend as far as you would like. A nice swing set, small shed, one car garage, fire pit outside, our place really is beautiful. Our boys love running through the woods, catching frogs during the wet season, and swinging off a rope on the huge maple tree in the center of the property. Our mortgage is $1,400, but we are willing to negotiate for the right person/family, especially if able to do some small upgrades such as painting or insulating the garage. We would love someone to take care of our home as we would. Please email me if you know of someone who might be interested. cariscros@hotmail.com Thank you!See More

This class explores the painful consequences of our current money system, and experiments with new (actually very ancient) methods of meeting human needs: barter, giving/recieving, voluntary simplicity, and cultivating abundance.In addition to stimulating dialogue, we will share real-time experiences of buying, selling, trading, and giving and recieving gifts, while observing the effects of these choices on our emotions and relationships. This course will run the gamut from the practical to the spiritual, the uncomfortable to the joyful, so bring your open heart and mind.Taught by Ginger Kennell and Chris Wolf, who both hold Master's degrees in human systems and live a daily lifestyle involved closely with animals, the Earth, and human healing.Register through the Whatcom Folk School by April 16th: www.whatcomfolkschool.orgFee: $15 Registration fee to the folk school, plus a "gift of any amount" to the instructors.See More
